About this project
The GameCube game is built from the zeldaret/tww-derived decompilation with Aurora. The Switch installation section documents a deko3d renderer; this is a source-based port rather than a general-purpose emulator.

The maintainer reports booting and playing on Switch with audio, controllers, memory-card saves and options. Manual coverage focuses on the opening island and selected areas; automated Mac sweeps do not establish full Switch campaign validation.

Known limitations
The Switch does not maintain a stable 30 FPS everywhere. Missing cached shaders can temporarily hide effects while compiling. The README also retains an older no-binaries statement despite its regional Switch package instructions; check the current official release contents.

Getting started
Follow the regional package/build instructions and place the NRO, shader caches and your GZLE01.iso or GZLP01.iso under /switch/switchwaker/. The documented space estimate is about 1.6 GB plus growing caches.

Launch homebrew in full-memory title mode rather than album applet mode. Back up native/user/USA/Card A before updating; replace only the NRO and documented cache files.
